AmeriCares: Israel-Gaza Crisis: Immediate support needed

 

Friend, the humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Israel and Gaza is growing more catastrophic by the day. Over 4,000 people have been killed, and thousands more have been injured. In Gaza, hospitals and health centers have been damaged and are running out of fuel. In the face of this devastating war, Americares remains steadfast in our commitment to providing support in both Israel and Gaza to meet the most urgent health needs of civilians caught in the crossfire. But we need your help right now: Will you make a donation of $125 or more now to provide emergency aid for those impacted by crises in Israel, Gaza and around the world?  Right now, we’re working with a longtime, trusted partner organization in the region. Medicines and medical supplies purchased with emergency funding from Americares are prepositioned in Egypt awaiting transport into Gaza once a humanitarian corridor has been established. We have also offered our assistance to organizations working in Israel and will continue to work with them to identify health-related needs, including how best to provide mental health support. Thank you so much for supporting our mission in such an important moment. Americares Americares 88 Hamilton Avenue Stamford, CT 06902 | (203) 658-9500

An update on our response to the Israel-Gaza conflict

 

Friend, I wanted to reach out to you personally with an important update: As the horrific events continue to unfold in Israel and Gaza, I want to let you know that Americares is more committed than ever to helping everyone affected by this crisis that we can. Here is the latest I've heard from the ground. The gravity of the situation is undeniable: Since Israel was violently attacked on Oct. 7, UN agencies have reported more than 1,900 lives have been lost in Israel and Gaza and 260,000 people have been displaced. Gaza's sole power station has ceased operation due to fuel shortages, affecting hospitals and essential services. Half of the health centers operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in Gaza are not providing primary care services as of Oct. 11. Americares is responding to this grave humanitarian crisis: Americares is focused on meeting the most urgent medical needs of civilians caught in the crossfire. We're providing emergency funding to a long time local partner on the ground for antibiotics, IV fluids and other essential medicine and medical supplies.  We're actively communicating with humanitarian organizations based in Israel to understand how we can support the health of those affected by the crisis. At this critical time, your support is urgently needed to provide lifesaving assistance, medicine and supplies wherever people are impacted by violence and disaster. So, I have to ask: Will you make a gift of $125? Your donation will help us deliver vital aid to children and adults impacted by the Israel-Gaza conflict and other crises around the world. I vow to keep you updated on our response every step of the way. Thank you for your compassion, today and always.
